Areca VerschaffeltU. A splendid Palm, with finely-divided 

 pinns of a deep green color with yellowish midrib. 4-inch 

 pots, 15 inches high, 75 cts. each; 5-inch pots, 18 inches 

 high, $1.00 each. 



Bactris Major. A comparatively rare Palm, which, where 

 the temperature of a warm conservatory can be given, is an 

 interesting subject, on account of the many long spines with 

 which not only the stems, but also both surfaces of the leaves, 

 are densely covered. Strong plants in 5-inch pots, 18 inches 

 high, ^2.00 each. 



COCOS Weddeliana. The most elegant and graceful of all the 

 smaller Palms. Admirable for fern dishes, as they are of slow 

 growth and maintain their beauty for a long time. 3-in. 

 pots, 12 inches high, 25 cts. each; beautiful specimens in 5- 

 inch pots, 18 to 24 inches high, ^1.50 each ; large specimens 

 in 7-inch pots, 3 feet high, ^3.50 each. 



Kentias. The Kentias give better satisfaction as a house plant 

 than any other variety. They are of slow growth, and are 

 not affected by the dry atmosphere of the house, and were we 

 to select one Palm only, it certainly would be a Kentia. 



Kentia Belmoreana. 



NO collection of plants is complete without Palms. Their bold, 

 majestic, yet graceful foliage, lends a grandeur and magnificence 

 that cannot be obtained by any other class of plants, and no decoration, 

 whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting room, is complete without them. 

 Nearly all the varieties offered are of the easiest culture, succeeding under 

 the most ordinary conditions. Our facilities for producing this class of stock 

 is the most complete in this country, 35 of our largest houses — over three 

 acres of greenhouse structure — being devoted to them alone, enabling us to 

 supply all the leading and popular sorts at the most reasonable prices.

 Fish-tail Palm; quite rare. 5-inch pots, ^1.50 each.

Phcenix Canariensis. One of the hardiest of the Date 

 Palms, with dark green, feathery foliage, of strong growth, 

 and especially valuable for outdoor decoration, as it stands 

 sun and wind without the least damage. 10 inch tubs, 3^ 

 feet high, $6.00 each. 



Phoenix Roebelenii. The most graceful of all the Phoenix, 

 and a Palm which we feel sure will become one of the most 

 popular varieties for room decoration. The plant is of vigor- 

 ous growth, and its gracefully recurving leaves, with very 

 narrow dark green pinnse give the plant a lightness and 

 airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos Weddeliana ; at 

 the same time it is as hardy as a Kentia, succeeding admirably 

 as a house plant.
